Educomp smartclass is a first of its kind, teacher-led educational content based
solution that has dramatically improved learning outcomes in Private Schools. Powered
by India’s largest Digital Content library of curriculum-mapped, multimedia rich,
3D content; smartclass is today a market leader in this domain. The number of Educomp
smartclass enabled schools grows at almost 10 schools a day. In the last eight years
over 80 million smartclass sessions have been held in schools. This has given Educomp
some invaluable insights into the real challenges that teachers encounter and their
ever growing expectations from the program. These insights have helped to understand
the pain areas to develop a whole new school transformation system. Educomp has
now flagged off, the next generation of smartclass. The smartclass Class Transformation
System (or CTS) and the smartclass Digital Teaching System (or DTS) are the biggest
and most innovative initiatives in the space of digital classroom content and digital
classroom hardware respectively. The DTS is the world’s first fully integrated one-switch
Digital Interactive Teaching system, specially designed to work in high ambient
temperatures and dusty conditions prevalent in most Indian classrooms. The CTS broadens
the choice of teaching tools available with the teacher beyond invaluable rich 3D
Animations to bring abstract concepts to life. The arsenal of solutions now available
for teachers also includes tools like ready to use MCQs, Virtual Laboratory of Simulations,
Work Sheets, Mindmaps, Teaching Ideas, Real Life Applications, Topic Synopsis, Weblinks
and Diagram Maker. The CTS poised as the next generation of Educomp smartclass in
schools, is the revolutionary leap forward in enabling excellence in schools.

About Us

First things first. Educomp smartclass is a flagship brand of Educomp Solutions, India’s largest Education company.

Born in 2003 and just 8 years young, Educomp smartclass has created shall we say, yet another divide of Have and Have Nots: schools that have Educomp smartclass and schools that don’t. Fortunately, with some 8,000 schools already embracing the system, and the number growing at almost 10 schools a day, this divide is getting narrower by the day.

smartclass did what no one had ever thought of before, bring technology into the classroom. It brought an exhaustive repository of world class digital modules or lessons, (consisting of 2D and 3D animations, graphics, audio and video) on every subject in the K12 spectrum, which the teacher could easily access and project in the classroom that illuminated and explained abstract and difficult concepts with liquid clarity. The result was amazing. Knowledge flourished freed from the centuries old bonds of books and chalk and blackboard. A new light of understanding dawned on young awakened minds. And the classroom became a fascinating place to be in as a new generation of learners saw (instead of just being told and explained) for the first time how things happened. And the teacher smiled as she now saw not just one, two or three but a sea of hands go up every time she asked a question

Even as it popularity grew with school after school adopting it, as pioneers we realised that we needed to keep pushing the frontiers of technology, make it adapt to changing times, make it more user friendly, more versatile and more resourceful. Over the years, such upgrades and improvements kept happening on a continuous basis.

But the time was fast approaching for metamorphic and transformational change. For nearly 2 years starting end 2009, the think tank at smartclass has been at work devoting millions of man days to execute the most comprehensive re-engineering of its kind to make smartclass a truly 21st century teaching-learning. And the result is amazing new avatar of Educomp smartclass-re-christened befittingly as smartclass CTS(Class Transformation System)

Now, imagine a Science teacher explaining how a DNA replicates, a History teacher teaching a class about the Harappan Civilisation, or a Geography teacher teaching how Block mountains are formed. The best of teachers take pains to explain the concepts largely depending on their own abilities. The students listen to the teachers, try to decipher the figures drawn on the blackboard and read from their text books, take notes and try hard to visualize how it happens and remember. At the end of the class, the teacher asks a few random questions to assess how the class fared. Invariably a few hands (mostly of the same set of brightest students in class), go up, the answers are given and the class ends.

Educomp smartclass brings about a complete transformation in classrooms. The Science teacher while explaining how a DNA replicates is able to show the class a 3D animation of the DNA replication process on a large screen. She can explain the fine points of the process, zoom in to show the relevant visuals, freeze and annotate when and where she needs to emphasise. Similarly the History teacher shows the class a virtual walk through of the Harappan Civilisation. Uncovering the relevant parts step by step as a part of her lesson plan , while the Geography teacher shows a virtual Block mountain being formed…all with engaging animations, colors, music, sounds and voice. The teachers gain complete attention and interest of every child in the class. Every child gets a visual input on how it happens and the concepts are well understood and internalised.

Towards the end of the class, every teacher displays a set of questions on a large screen, every child in class gets ready to answer the questions with their personal answering device – SAS. Students click the answers, instantly, teachers are able to get a score sheet for every child in class. She ends the class re –teaching the parts of the lesson that were not understood well by class.

The result: faster and accurate understanding of the concepts in class and consequently improvement in the overall academic performance of students. Now all of this was possible with Educomp smartclass as it existed before CTS.

With CTS a lot more is possible. The science teachers can use a Diagram Drawer which plays a step by step line drawing animation of say how to draw stages of DNA replication or block mountain formation. She can get a brilliant Teaching Idea by clicking on the Teaching Idea icon before she commences teaching. Or use the Topic Synopsis or Mind Map to recapitulate the salient points of a lesson or concept taught. She can also click on Simulation to show virtual experiments without having rely on limited Lab availability. There are Worksheets, Weblinks and then in the days to come access to smartclass Teacher Fraternity Resources an ideas and best practices portal which will give any teacher to share and access pedagogical expertise.
